Title IX

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 states that “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Title IX covers gender equity in athletics, pregnant and parenting students, in addition to ensuring equal access to educational opportunities and co-curricular involvements free from sexual violence and other gender-based discrimination. These protections extend to students, employees, applicants for admission and employment, and visitors to the university community.
